DISSECTIOKS OF PUPS. 391 



No very great difficulty was experienced in making the bulls move out of the 

 way. Care was taken to avoid alarming the cows unnecessarily. 



Beginning with the south end, to Kitovi Point, 15 were counted; from the Point 

 to the high ridge near the middle of Kitovi, 28; to the green cliff below the amphi- 

 theater, 15; to the end of Kitovi at Lukanin Point, 51; a total of 109. 



One pup otherwise well was found with sore eyelids. I^o emaciated pups were 

 noticed, but one little one seemed weak. One dead cow too much decomposed to permit 

 of examination was found. 



The count was continued in the same way along Lukanin rookery from Lukanin 

 Point. To the gully between the first and second green cliff north of Lukanin Point 

 there were found 70 dead pups; to the end of the last green cliff, 41 ; making a total of 

 111. The rest of the rookery was left to be counted later. Two dead cows were found, 

 both examined by Mr. Lucas, but found too rotten for close examination.
